D0-brane gas picture of Schwarzschild black hole (SBH) is considered in the large N regime of Matrix theory. An entropy formula, which reproduces the thermodynamics of SBH in the large N limit for all dimensions ($D\geq 6$), is proposed.…
These notes review the D0-brane or Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind (BFSS) matrix quantum mechanics from a post-AdS/CFT perspective. We start from the decoupling argument for D0-branes and discuss the gravity dual in the 't Hooft regime,…
